lyrics

He built a pretty castle out of mostly brawn
But woke up in the morning and the whole thing gone
Maybe for the first time he
Wonders why does it have to be me
He found another scapegoat and he ties her hands
Avoiding any mirrors just as best he can
Maybe for the last time he
Doesn’t like the thing he sees
You’re a hateful shitty backwater bastard but you’re a patriarch
You’re a fucking barely sentient slime mold but you’re a patriarch
Something’s just a little wrong
I’m not allowed to sing this song
He wrote a shitty contract using mostly hate
Botched english that’d be more use to immolate
Burning up a turn of phrase
Next day he returns with just the same
Why is privilege your god-given birthright?
Just ‘cause you came out with both an x and y?
If you think you’re smarter
‘Cause you’re equipped with certain parts then you are wrong
You’re a hateful shitty backwater bastard but you’re a patriarch
You’re a fucking barely sentient slime mold but you’re a patriarch

about

Mouthbreather Portland, Oregon

Math rock, post-hardcore, and experimental folk walk into a bar. The sound person only provides them with 4 drink tickets, because they are a two-piece band called Mouthbreather.
Dynamic song structures and time signatures with no shortage of distinct melody and thoughtful lyricism. Something for everybody! Except maybe your aunt who might say “I don’t get why he has to do all that yelling.”
